Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese

    Full-fat ricotta is best for toddlers' energy needs.

  • 1 large egg

  • 2-3 tbsp whole milk

  • 1 tsp honey

    ONLY for toddlers 12 months and older.

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or oat flour)

  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 tsp unsalted butter (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk the ricotta cheese, egg, and milk until smooth and creamy.

  2. Stir in the honey and vanilla extract.

  3. In a separate small bowl, mix the flour and baking powder.

  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the ricotta mixture. Stir gently until just combined; a few lumps are fine. Overmixing will make the pancakes tough.

  5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease with a small amount of unsalted butter or coconut oil.

  6. Drop 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the skillet.

  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes until you see small bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set.

  8. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

  9. Allow to cool to a safe temperature. Serve as they are or cut into bite-sized pieces for easier handling.

Storage

Store in the fridge for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat gently in a toaster or pan.
